Bob Odenkirk Transforms Into an Action Hero in Nobody
Released back in March last year, the firstNobodycenters on Bob Odenkirkas the seemingly mild-mannered Hutch Mansell. Hutch begins the movie as an underestimated and overlooked dad and husband, taking life’s indignities on the chin and never pushing back. In effect, a nobody. When two thieves break into his suburban home one night, Hutch declines to defend himself or his family, hoping to prevent serious violence. His teenage son, Blake, is disappointed in him, and his wife, Becca, seems to pull only further away.
But really, the aftermath of the incident strikes a match to Hutch’s long-simmering rage, triggering dormant instincts and propelling him on a brutal path that will surface dark secrets and lethal skills. In a barrage of fists, gunfire, and squealing tires, Hutch must face his violent past to save his family from a vengeful drug lord. Once the dust settles and the explosions stop, Hutch will certainly never be underestimated as a nobody again.
Directed by Ilya Naishuller and written by Derek Kolstad,Nobodystars Connie Nielsen, Aleksei Serebryakov, RZA, Michael Ironside, Colin Salmon, and Christopher Lloyd alongside Odenkirk. The movie was met with much applause from both critics and audiences alike, took the top spot at the domestic box office, and grossed over $57M worldwide against a budget of $16 million amid the trying times of the COVID-19 pandemic.
So, once again for those whose excited squeals made them miss it the first time,Nobody 2is due to be released on June 10, 2025.
A docile family man slowly reveals his true character after his house gets burgled by two petty thieves, which, coincidentally, leads him into a bloody war with a Russian crime boss. Starring Bob Odenkirk and Christopher Lloyd.
